There are certainly countless motifs that can be used to symbolize the new beginning of a year. A sunrise outside in nature (in this case on the Hoher Schneeberg in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains) is my favorite.
In both cases we are on a path that leads us into a new phase of life. A path that is only known to us to a certain extent and where a big surprise (or challenge) can be waiting for us around the next bend.
Now you could object that a day is just a day and in comparison a year must be much more significant. I would like to show you why I don't quite see it that way.
On the one hand, this assessment is based on our standards, which are based on a human life. If we look at it from the perspective of the lifespan of the universe, a year is just as insignificant as a day (basically the effects of neither are noticeable).
On the other hand, a single day, a single decision is enough to fundamentally change our own world in every conceivable direction.
So what if we didn't wait for a specific date every year to realize where we want to go, but could use every single day of the year to do so?
Our creative possibilities would increase many times over and we would have so much more room for directional corrections. We could learn, try things out and gain experience without having to ask the fundamental question every time.
With this in mind, I wish you all a good start and an exciting and fulfilling journey.
Because today is the first day of the rest of all of our lives.
Es gibt ganz sicher unzählige Motive, mit denen man den Neubeginn eines Jahres symbolisieren kann. Ein Sonnenaufgang draußen in der Natur (in diesem Fall auf dem Hohen Schneeberg im Elbsandsteingebirge) ist mein Favorit.
In beiden Fällen befinden wir uns auf einem Weg, der uns in einen neuen Lebensabschnitt führt. Ein Weg, der uns nur bis zu einem gewissen Grad bekannt ist und auf dem hinter der nächste Kurve eine große Überraschung (oder auch Herausforderung) auf uns warten kann.
Jetzt könntet Ihr einwenden, dass ein Tag ja nur ein Tag ist und im Vergleich dazu ein Jahr doch viel bedeutender sein muss. Ich möchte Euch aufzeigen, warum ich das nicht ganz so sehe.
Zum einen fusst diese Einschätzung auf unsere auf ein Menschenleben ausgerichteten Masstäbe. Betrachten wir das ganze aus Sicht der Lebensspanne des Universums ist ein Jahr genau so unbedeutetend wie ein Tag (im Grunde sind die Auswirkungen beider nicht spürbar).
Andererseits genügt ein einziger Tag, eine einzige Entscheidung um unsere eigene Welt grundlegend zu verändern und das in jede nur denkbare Richtung.
Wie wäre es also, wenn wir nicht jedes Jahr auf ein spezielles Datum warten würden um uns bewusst zu machen, wohin wir gehen wollen, sondern dafür jeden einzelnen Tag des Jahres nutzen könnten?
Unsere gestalterischen Möglichkeiten würden um ein vielfaches steigen und wir hätten so viel mehr Raum für Richtungskorrekturen. Wir könnten lernen, probieren und Erfahrungen sammeln ohne jedes Mal die Grundsatzfrage stellen zu müssen.
In diesem Sinne wünsche ich Euch allen einen guten Start und eine spannende sowie erfüllende Reise.
Denn heute ist der erste Tag vom Rest unser aller Leben.

Beethoven, Symp. no 3, Eroica
From Wikipedia.
Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Opus 55 (also Italian Sinfonia Eroica, Heroic Symphony) is a structurally rigorous composition of great emotional depth, which marked the beginning of the creative middle-period of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven.[1][2]
Beethoven began composing the third symphony soon after Symphony No. 2 in D major, Opus 36; he completed the composition in early 1804, and the first public performance of Symphony No. 3 was on 7 April 1805 in Vienna.[3]
On display at the Lobkowicz Palace in Prague is a first published edition (1806) of Beethoven's Eroica, as well as other Beethoven treasures including manuscripts of the 4th and 5th symphonies, featuring Beethoven's own corrections and annotations for performance.
As winter in Montreal does not give many occasions for bokeh photography, I was recently playing with possibilities of RaweTherapee, my RAW editor of choice. I made couple of LUT files too mimic a memory of some vintage films my father used in 70-ties.
Here I share some results. Only minimal exposure and LUT profile were applied on those photos.
Brushy Mountain is another Youtube rabbit hole that Niccy and I fell down!
This is the recreation yard at Brushy Mountain. Made me think of the song "Green, Green Grass Of Home". The song has been covered by a lot of artists but I like Sir Tom Jones's version best:

Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, last named Brushy Mountain Correctional Complex, (or, unofficially, Brushy) was a maximum-security prison in the community of Petros in Morgan County, Tennessee, operated by the Tennessee Department of Correction. It was established in 1896 and operated until 2009.
Perhaps the best-known escape attempt occurred on June 10, 1977, when James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King Jr., escaped with six other inmates by climbing over a fence. Ray was captured less than 58 hours later in rugged mountain terrain 81⁄2 miles from the prison.
Brushy Mountain was another of our stops on the Tennessee portion of our adventure. Thank you Youtube!
One of the things we found interesting is that the prison was actually built by the inmates using stone mined by prisoners from a quarry on the property. Imagine being forced to build the place that's going to be your punishment. That's some real hard labor and hard time.
Thanks so much fellow photographer JT for correctly identifying this sighting, Well done JT !!
Thanks for viewing, faves and comments are always appreciated!

Correction Wynd is situated in Aberdeen's city centre.
It was the location of the House of Correction.
The House of Correction served as a half-jail and half-poorhouse.
It operated between 1637 and 1711.

Manifestation du samedi 11 janvier contre le projet de réforme des retraites
Paris, Nation, Bastille, République
Un trajet bloqué à plusieurs reprises par les CRS, qui ont lancé des gaz lacrymos en direction du cortège de façon complètement injustifiée (comme si cela pouvait empêcher une manifestation de cette taille...), manifestation évidemment autorisée bien-sûr
Before transferring to Accra airport for the flight back home, we revisited Aburi Botanical Gardens.
The missing tails indicated how the fairy hairstreak escaped from the predators.
At first, I thought it's the usual large fairy hairstreaks encountered these days, but it turned out to be a new species to me according to the underside marking.
It's not a fresh individual and I only had the underside picture, but probably either Hypolycaena nigra (Black Fairy Hairstreak) or Hypolycaena hatita (Common Fairy Hairstreak).
Based on the discussion of other Hypolycaena photos in Flickr, I would guess it's Hypolycaena nigra, which has a much clearer discal band on the hindwing that is well defined even at the tornal area.
Any suggestion/correction on the ID is much appreciated.
